Complex cobordism Complex manifolds: Compact smooth manifolds, with a tangential stable almost complex structure. Two closed manifolds are cobordant, if their disjoint union is the boundary of a third manifold. This is an equivalent relation. Complex cobordism ring Ω U ∗ (graded), under disjoint union and Cartesian product. 2 / 24

Pontryagin-Thom construction Take a cobordant class [ M ] . Equivariant Whiteny’s embedding: M ֒ → V . The normal bundle ν embeds as a tubular neighborhood. Pontryagin-Thom constuction gives a composite map S V → Th ( ν ) → Th ( γ | ν | G ) , which induces a homomorphism Ω G ∗ → π ∗ MU G . The opposite of Thom’s homomorphism does not exist, due to transversality issues. 7 / 24
